//Sample code for elements in a simple chainable jQuery plugin. This code dosn't do anything, just has the "moving" parts
(function ($) {
  $.fn.testcal = function (options) {

    var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.testcal.defaults, options); // Get options and extend defaults

    return this.each(function () {
        var elem = $(this);
        console.log(elem); // do something on each element, this just logs it for now
      }

  $.fn.testcal.defaults = {
